Avoided saying "Each opponent" so that it doesn't get worse in EDH, unlike Empty Fort Ploy. Since it only returns your graveyard, I set the baseline for this type of effect at 7 mana, then debated shaving off 1 mana for not getting your best creature. Decided for it for now, but may prove to be way too strong in testing.
By virtue of being one of the few tales from that culture I know this is one of my favorites. Really an interesting execution of the theme, too. :)
